time below the cold end of

the range of temperature

for which the refrigerating

appliance is designed.

• Do not store food which

spoils easily at low

temperature, such as

bananas, melons.

• Your appliance is frost free,

which means there is no

need to manually defrost

your appliance, as this will

be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rising during

the defrost can comply with

ISO requirement. But if you

want to prevent an undue

rise in the temperature of the

frozen food while defrosting

the appliance, please wrap

the frozen food in several

layers of newspaper.

• Any increase in temperature

- Never block any vents or

grilles on the appliance.

- Allow warm food to cool

down before placing it in the

appliance.

- Put frozen food in the

refrigerator to thaw.

You can then use the low

temperatures of the frozen

products to cool food in the

refrigerator.

- Do not keep the door of

the appliance open for too

long when putting food in or

taking food out.

The shorter time for which

the door is open, the less ice

will form in the freezer.

- Clean the rear of the

same. Open the doors and adjust them, one at a

time, as follows:

1. Unscrew the

nut 1 from the

lower hinge until

it reaches the

upper end of the

bolt 2 .

When you release the nut 1 , make sure that

you use the Allen wrench provided 3 to loosen

the bolt 2 in a counter-clockwise direction.

You should then be able to unscrew the nut 1

with your fi ngers.

2. Adjust the

height difference

between the

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE (OPTIONAL)A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features

on your new Samsung refrigerator. To help promote

better health, the Samsung water fi lter removes

unwanted particles from your water. However, it

does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You

will need to purchase a water purifying system to do

that. In order for the icemaker to operate properly,

water pressure of 138 ~862 kPa is required. Under

normal conditions, a 170 cc paper cup can be fi lled

in 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area

with low water pressure (below 138 kPa), you can

install a booster pump to compensate for the low

pressure. Make sure the water storage tank inside

the refrigerator is properly fi lled. To do this, press the

water dispenser lever until the water runs from the

water outlet. When using the Water Dispenser, Slight

noises can be generated from supplying water.

Water Line installation Kits are included. You can

fi nd it in one of the freezer drawers.

USING THE ICE MAKER (OPTIONAL)(RS77*, RS54H*)To Remove the Ice Bucket- Hold the handle as shown in fi gure1.

- Slightly pull up the bottom part.

- Take out the ice bucket slowly.

To Refi t The Ice Bucket- Assemble it in the reverse

order of disassembly.

- Push the bucket in fi rmly until

you hear a clicking sound.

- When the bucket does not fi t

into its place, turn the gear

handle on its back by 90

degrees and reinstall it again

as shown in fi gure 2.

Normal Operation- Any sounds you hear when the ice

maker dumps ice into the bucket

are part of normal operation.

- Not dispensing ice for long

periods may cause ice

clumps in the ice bucket.

Remove the remaining ice

and empty the bucket.

- When ice does not come out,

Check for any ice stuck in the

chute and remove it.

- The fi rst batch of ice cubes may

be small due to air in the pipe

after connection, any air will be

purged during normal use.

- When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel,

reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s

installed properly.

- When the door is open, the Ice and water

dispenser do not work.

- If you close the door hard, it may cause

water spilling over the ice maker.

- To prevent dropping the ice bucket, use

both hands when removing it.

- To prevent injury, be sure to clean up any

ice or water that may have dropped on

the fl oor.

- Do not let children hang on the ice dispenser

or on the bucket.

They may get hurt.

- Be sure not to put your hand or any object

into the ice chute.

It may cause personal injury or damage

mechanical parts.

Check the amount of water supplied

to the ice tray. (RS757*/ RS756*)

1. Lift up the icemaker cover and gently pull out.

2. When you press the Test button for 3 seconds,

the ice cube container is fi lled with water from the

water supply tap. Check to make sure the amount

of water is correct (see the illustration below).

If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be

small. This is a water pressure problem from with

in the main water pipes, not the refrigerator.

troubleshootingPROBLEM SOLUTION

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill suffi ciently.

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct

temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air

from circulating?

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct

temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room very low?

• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the

fridge? Try moving those items into the body of the fridge instead of keeping

them in the CoolSelect Zone™ drawer.

You hear unusual noises or sounds.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air

from circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and

occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation

to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.

The front corners of the appliance are hot and condensation is occurring.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners

of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the

door open for a long time.

Ice is not dispensing. • Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before

making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure Ice Type is set to

Cubed or Crushed.

• Is there any ice blocked within the ice maker bucket?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature

lower.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid

circulating through the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• Has a food item spoiled?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fi sh) is wrapped so that it

is airtight.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect

food.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow suffi cient space between the foods stored for effi cient air circulation.

• Is the freezer door closed properly?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator temperature is too low?

Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
